then how come nobody use them and people don't know about them?

This is actually a fair question. I think the answer is that there are MANY clients, and people generally want a recommendation for ONE. Nobody wants to rally behind one to the exclusion of others, so we arrive at a dilemma.

The key here, sadly, is for the "getting started" tutorials to focus on ONE, and then let people know there are many other options.  Right now, it's a choice paradox: when presented with many great options, people are left unable to make a decision. This is a proven aspect of human behaviour.


Exactly!

I couldn't say it better.

We are too much decentralised if it's about the client.

We need to chose one and make instructions or something. We don't need to call it official.
Just choose one so everyone can post that specific client as first. And if users are interested in other clients, we can redirect them.

It is very confusing right now.

Almost every coin has 1 wallet.

If community is to point at one client in particular, I would voted for the simplest opensource equivalent to JL NRS working on windows, mac and linux. I mean a general "client for dummy"! Keep it simple for the mass! If people want more features you always have the possibility to point to a list of more advanced client.

Is there any specification on the Pooled Forging that you could make available? As in the API call specifically or how it works?

I'm thinking of it, any proposals?

I was thnking about 2 options:

OPTION 1:

1) High level API call from account "A" to assign/remove right to forge to account "B" as well as split between prize
2) If block is found then prize is split between "A" and "B" according to agreed split
3) If prize cannot be split (because block had 1NXT and we can't have less than 1 NXT in an account) then what?

OPTION 2:

1) High level API call from account "A" to assign/remove right to forge to account "B"
2) If block is found, then account "B" gets the prize

With option 2 then account "A" needs to trust account "B", as there's no guarantee that they will pay back the prize earned

Comments?

ps.: I'll have to be offline for a couple of hours.

Will you be able/available to do it? Who should be in charge of this?

Some news regarding Account Control

I'm going to transfer (from BCNext's code to NRS) only Pooled Forging and Account Locking features. All the other features (multi-sig, for example) could be implemented with Autonomous Transactions (developed by CIYAM Open).

ATTENTION!

The following roles have to be filled in order to speed up the AE development (Atomic Crosschain / AE Gateway) of James!

JAVA Developer
- with knowledge about Bitcoin protocol (or a really fast learner)

Tester / Power User (up to 3 people)
- we need at least one full time Tester / Power User (but part time would be also ok)
- with some technical knowledge preferably
- experience in writing testcases would be great


I think I don´t have to explain why this feature is needed and what it would do with the price of Nxt... Smiley

We´ve already received some positive responses, but we still need skilled coders and testers!

Please let me know about your thoughts!
I can help with test... I m actually a tester at www.utest.com (that s a great community we can use them for analyzing the code for security flaw and other things http://forums.utest.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5592)

We can make posts enough to get to 2101 page so closing it at 2100 would fail Grin

not supposed that we were going to move to NXTCrypto?

We can move to NXTCrypto, but this thread shouldn´t be closed at all.
There is a reason why this thread is still the most active thread regarding the core of Nxt...

True, but I just hope people actually starts using the forum for organization and that we don't just end up having to deal with the neverending thread over and over ;P
